1. Introduction The Permanent Committee for Geospatial Data Infrastructure of the Americas (PC-IDEA) was established on February 29, 2000, based on the Resolution #3 of the 6th United Nations Cartographic Conference for the Americas – UNRCC-A (1997), to maximize the economic, social and environmental benefits derived from the use of geospatial information. This is accomplished through knowledge and exchange of experiences and technologies between countries, based on common standards which would allow the establishment of the Geospatial Data Infrastructure of the Americas. Besides, PC-IDEA implements the regional mechanism associated to the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) initiative. Among the main objectives of PC-IDEA, the following ones can be listed:

Establish and coordinate policies and technical standards for the development of geospatial data infrastructure for the Americas;

Promote the establishment and development of SDI in each PC-IDEA member country; Promote the interoperability of information systems among member countries, through the use

of standards; Encourage the sharing of geospatial information among all member countries in the Americas,

while respecting their autonomy and their national laws and policies; Stimulate cooperation, research, complementation and sharing of experience in areas of

knowledge related to geospatial data; Advise in the drafting of guidelines and strategies to support PC-IDEA member countries in

developing geospatial information, considering the individual needs of each country; Set priorities for information sharing, considering the regulatory framework of each member

country; Promote SDI training activities and technology transfer.

The Committee is currently formed by 24 American countries (Figure 1) and, as established at the 9th UNRCC-A (2009), Brazil is in charge of the Presidency and the Executive Secretariat for the 2009-2013 period.

PC-IDEA work plans are prepared in accordance with the resolutions adopted at UNRCC-A, which happens every 4 years. At the last one, held in August 2009 in New York, the following 7 resolutions related to the activities of PC-IDEA were established:

Work plan of the Permanent Committee for Geospatial Data Infrastructure of the Americas and

establishment of working groups Mechanisms for the building of spatial data infrastructures New study on the status of mapping by country and region Forum for sharing SDI best practices Event on disaster and risk management related to SDI Funding issues Support of SDI in the developing countries of the Americas and in particular in the Caribbean

region

To comply with these resolutions, PC-IDEA established the Working Groups on Planning (GTplan) in May 2010, and on Standards and Technical Specifications (GTnet) in December 2012, which have worked together with the Executive Board to draft the Committee's work program for 2009-2013 aimed at capacity building, institutional strengthening and many other products and actions that are already being made available to member countries. It is expected that these products and actions will have been completely delivered by the end of this term. In addition, the Committee seeks to disseminate all its activities through presentations at events and made them available at its website (www.cp-idea.org). The activities carried out since 2009 are briefly reported in the following sections, along with links to all the documents produced.

2. Administrative issues 2.1. Vice-President With the retirement of Mr. Mario Reyes, from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico, in 2009, a new Vice President was appointed for PC-IDEA, Mr. Cristian Aqueveque, Chile's representative on the Committee (as well as South America vocal), during the meeting of the Executive Board in May 2010, in New York. Following the consultations established at the Statute, he assumed the position of South America`s vocal and, later, of Vice President of the Committee. From March 2013 a


9

new person is in charge of the Executive Secretariat of SNIT, therefore, the Vice Presidency of the PC-IDEA is vacant. 2.2. New Central America Vocal After the Committee`s approval, as set out in the Statute, Mr. Oscar Leonel Figueroa Cabrera was appointed Central America`s Vocal. He replaced Mr. Ronald Estuardo Arango Ordoñez, both from the National Geographic Institute of Guatemala. With the beginning of the management of the new Director of IGN-Guatemala, Mr Edwin Guillermo Santos Mansilla, and after due consultation with the Committee, the same was confirmed in June 2012 as new Vocal for Central America. 2.3. Caribbean’s Vocal In the Ninth UNRCC-A, Cuba was elected as the Caribbean`s vocal at the Executive Board. After the change of this country representative in the Committee, Cuba did not show interest in continuing to perform this role. As a result, the vocal for this American region is currently vacant.

2.4. South America Vocal In the Ninth UNRCC-A, Mr. Cristian Aqueveque Iglesias, from Chile`s Sistema Nacional de Coordinación de Información Territorial (SNIT), was appointed to fill the position of South America’s vocal, and later replaced by Mr. Esteban González Tohá, also from Chile. Recently, after due consultation with the Committee, there was another replacement, by Mr. Matías Soto Fortuño, current Chile`s representative in PC-IDEA. 2.5. A list of all present and previous members and their alternates in the PC-IDEA 2009-2013 term is available in Appendix C.

2.6. New logo A new logo was developed in 2012, as shown in Figure 4.

2.7. Financial Resources requesting 2.7.1.CYTED Convocation – The Project "Ibero-american Network to improve and en hance the use of spatial data infrastructures (SDI) in territorial planning" was applied to the Ibero-american Program of Science and Technology for Development (CYTED) in 2010. The overall objective of the project was stimulating the creation of a scientific and technological research network associated to PC-IDEA. Its purpose would be to develop methodologies and applications for geospatial data and services, making use of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) for territorial planning, risks associated to territorial vulnerability, and sustainable use of natural resources, improving decision making. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala and Portugal participated of the proposal, presenting documentation. The project included the participation of all countries of the Committee, not only of those directly involved in the application. Besides the mentioned objectives, the proposal intended to enable the several meetings needed to carried out PC-IDEA`s work. The amount was estimated at € 33,000 per year for a four-year project. The proposal was presented in April 2010. In December CYTED Secretariat informed that the project had not been approved.

2.7.2. World Bank – The project "Strengthening of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) of the Americas" was presented to the World Bank (Brazil), also in 2010, through the Institutional Development Fund


10

(IDF), in order to maximize the economic, social and environmental benefits of the use of geospatial information, seeking to promote the SDI construction in countries that have not started this process, as well as strengthening the implementation and sustainability of existing SDI in the countries of the Americas. The request of funding for strengthening and empowerment of the countries of the Americas in the scope of the SDI was justified. The proposal was submitted in October 2010 with a total budget of US$ 672,645.00 for three years. Among the main activities planned in the two lines of action of the project were the Working Groups meetings, events on disaster and risk, and various courses and training for the countries of the Americas. In February 2011 the World Bank representation in Brazil reported that the project had not been approved. 2.7.3. Pan American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) – A project was presented to IPGH in 2012 through the 2013 Call to cover PC-IDEA Working Groups activities taking into account their alignment to the PAIGH 2010-2020 Pan-American Agenda - which seeks to support national initiatives based on international standards and concepts of spatial data infrastructure. The project was approved at the 44th Meeting of the Steering Council, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2012, with USD 8,000. PAIGH Steering Council has conditioned the release of these resources to the establishment of a cooperation with the United Nations (UNSD) or other solution that facilitates cooperation with PC-IDEA. 2.8. New Statute The document was approved in May 2010, as follows: 17 votes in favor of it and 1 abstention (6 countries did not submit their votes). Available in Spanish and English in http://www.cp-idea.org/documentos/Estatuto_CPIDEA_maio2011_final_esp.PDF and http://www.cp-idea.org/documentos/Statute_PCIDEA_maio2011_final_eng.pdf. The Portuguese version is expected to be available by the end of 2013.

3. Work Plan 2009 - 2013 Prepared by the Working Group on Planning (GTplan), coordinated by Chile and co-coordinated by Canada. The Plan was developed considering seven themes developed by August 2013, namely:

Theme 6: Assessment of the Development of SDI in the Americas (DES) - Countries in charge: Cuba and Canada Establishment of mechanism for regular and systematic assessment of SDI in the Americas based on a set of common criteria. Theme 7: Implementation of technological means for the discussion of data access and dissemination of geospatial data (TEC) - Country in charge: Chile Establishment of a tool for implementation of virtual forums to facilitate the exchange of opinions in relation to the highlighted themes as well as the construction of a new website.

3.1 Working Group on planning (GTplan) Created during the fifth meeting of the Executive Board, held in New York in May 2010, in order to meet the recommendations of the Ninth United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas. This working group was initially formed by members from Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala and Mexico. 3.1.1. 2011 and 2013 Questionnaires To support planning activities, a questionnaire – covering the issues of training, standards and specifications, best practices, innovations in National Mapping Institutes and Status of SDI in the America – was sent out to the Committee member countries. The first questionnaire consisted of 76 questions developed by GTplan and applied to members of the PC-IDEA throughout 2011. Twenty of the 24 members responded to the questionnaire (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guyana and the United States did not answer). Analyses were processed in 2012 and made available in August 2012 during the 9th plenary meeting of the Committee, held in Rio de Janeiro. The structure of the report includes a description of the methodology used to gather data and its subsequent processing. It also contains the presentation of results for each of the themes. A brief comparison with the results of the questionnaire used in 2008 was made whenever possible. Finally, the conclusions and the following annexes were presented:

• Annex A: broadly shows academic offer related to SDI in countries of the Americas • Annex B: related to good practices and successful stories documented in the member countries

of the PC-IDEA • Annex C: lists the legal instrument which supports the SDI in each country, when necessary.

A digital version of the report was enclosed in the publication, complemented by the individual responses of the countries that authorized its publication.

A simplified version of the questionnaire was applied to PC-IDEA member countries in 2013, in order to monitor SDI advances, as well as general progress, over 2011-2013. Twenty-one of the 24 members responded to the questionnaire (Dominican Republic, Guyana and the United States did not answer). This diagnosis, as well as analyses and comparison with the results from the previous questionnaire, will be presented during the 10th UNRCC. 3.2. Working Group on Standards and Technical Specifications (GTnet) This group was created in December 2012 from an agreement reached at the Ninth PC-IDEA Plenary Meeting held in Rio de Janeiro in August 2012. Six countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Honduras, and Mexico) compose this group with the collaboration of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Mexico, with the support of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), is the Coordinator of the group. The group's goal is to establish a set of standards and technical specifications that apply to the region within a common scenario, considering and respecting the specificities of each country. Based on this goal, general activities, as part of the 2009-2013 work program, are:

Developing a vision for the integration of geospatial information in the region, through the use of standards

Establishing the state of the art in the development and use of standards, as well as multinational profiles in the region

Preparing proposals of core standards for the region Coordinating the participation in regional organizations and normalization initiatives Developing manuals related to use of the standards for the daily management of information

In a following chapter, information is provided regarding the products available on this topic.

4. Seminar: Spatial Data Infrastructures – SDI as a Natural Disaster

Risk Management Service: The seminar took place on August 17, 2012, in the scope of the Second Latin-American Geospatial Forum - LAGF 2012, held in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. PC-IDEA in partnership with Geospatial Media and Communications, fulfilled Resolution No. 5 of the Ninth United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas (UNRCC-A/2009), which recommended holding an event on Disaster and Risks focusing on Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI).

This event aimed to promote the exchange of experiences and concepts in the design, development and advancements of the components of an SDI in natural disaster risk management, emphasizing the management and use of geospatial information. The event was organized by teams belonging to Geospatial Media and Communications and Augustin Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC), from Colombia (a member of PC-IDEA), as well as by the Executive Secretary of the PC-IDEA. Three distinct sessions were established, coordinated by Professor Paulo Márcio Leal de Menezes, PhD, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, and debates were held at the end of each session, including conclusions on what was discussed.

9. Final Considerations: All goals established by the 9th UNRCC-A have been achieved, in addition to many products/activities that have been generated/carried out during this term. The work plan has been implemented in such a way that the next Executive Board may promote its continuity, in case this is envisaged. Numerous working meetings have been held during this term: four plenary meetings, one Executive Board meeting and seven GTplan meetings. Besides, a large number of virtual meetings have also been held. All these activities have certainly contributed to the achievement of all goals for this period. PC-IDEA and its work have been widely divulged through participation in many events with presentations, written texts for publications, and release of promotional material. During these four years, some attempts to obtain financial support have been carried out, in order to speed up the work of the Committee and the achievement of even more challenging goals. Unfortunately, these initiatives have not been successful, except for a partnership established with PAIGH. This is an aspect that may be taken into account by the next Executive Board. It is recommended that a continued effort be made towards engaging all countries of the region in PC-IDEA activities, especially from the Caribbean. Recently an important cooperation has been established with four regional entities of the Americas which deal with the geospatial information issue: PAIGH, SIRGAS, PC-IDEA and GeoSUR. Their activities and responsibilities have been re-visited and a 2013-2015 work plan developed which will benefit all countries involved with them. Capacity building, events organization, joint documents production, standards and specifications, webservices, and etc., are areas that may be benefitted with this cooperation. This effort is very important to optimize initiatives, avoiding efforts’ overlapping and amplifying the results on the establishment of the SDI in the Americas. PC-IDEA recognizes the importance of the UN-GGIM initiative, which aims to set a high level forum, coordinated by the member countries, for global geospatial information management. PC-IDEA was glad with the opportunity of actively contributing to the process of building this initiative and its corresponding UN Committee of Experts.
